【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

Two years have passed since Lucci met Ace and Sabo. During this period, Lucci would go to the Uncertainty Terminal and Ace and Sabo from time to time to train and reserve pirate funds.

"Luffy is 5 years old now. He can go to the forest with me. I can also introduce my cute brother to Ace and Sabo," Lucci thought happily.

"Luffy, now I will take you to meet my friends. They are also your brothers. Don't run around on the way to the forest. The forest is very dangerous." Lucci said to Luffy behind him. I will teach you how to hunt. There is a lot of meat here for you to eat. I can hunt anything you want to eat." Lucci said dotingly. He imagined his brother's admiring expression and had a nosebleed in his heart. "No! Why didn't Luffy answer?" Lucci came back to his senses and turned to look behind him.

"Uh! Luffy, oh no, why is Luffy gone?" Lucci was shocked to see no one behind him. "Where are you, Luffy? Brother is here!" Lucci shouted anxiously, "Damn it!"

While Lucci was talking, Luffy saw a golden beetle and hurried to catch it, following the beetle further and further away. When he came to his senses, Lucci was gone.

"Oh my god, how come brother got lost again?" Luffy said cutely. He looked around and found a beautiful butterfly. He followed the butterfly and ran to an open space. The butterfly flew into the sky and flew away. Luffy finally gave up and looked around. There were tall trees and bushes everywhere. Luffy saw that the bushes on the right seemed to be moving. Suddenly a wild boar rushed out of the bushes and rushed towards him. Luffy was so scared that he turned around and ran.

When Luffy ran to a tree, he fell down. Just when Luffy was about to be knocked down, a boy jumped out of the tree. The boy hit the wild boar's eyes with a water pipe. The wild boar screamed after being injured, and ran away quickly because he saw the new boy was not easy to mess with. The boy stood there and stared at the direction where the wild boar ran away. After realizing that the wild boar would not come back, he turned around and looked at the boy who was younger than him, and turned away.

Luffy watched the boy who just saved him walk away and hurriedly followed him. As he walked, he said to him, "Hey! You're so cool. Let's be friends! My name is Luffy, what's your name?"

The black-haired boy ignored him and walked forward quickly, trying to get rid of him. "Don't follow me. I don't like weaklings like you," the black-haired boy yelled at the boy who was younger than him.

"Hey! I'm not weak, my fists are as powerful as guns," Luffy said angrily. The black-haired boy ignored him and ran towards the forest in front, trying to get rid of the follower behind him.

'Ace looked at the man following behind him and knocked him off the rocks many times, kicking down trees to stop him and block his path.

I finally got rid of him. If the road behind wasn't easier to walk on, I wouldn't have taken so long to get rid of him.' Ace walked to the terminal of the uncertain object and planned to ambush the person holding the treasure.

A group of thugs passed by with a bag of treasure. The boy stopped them and after a fight, he successfully took the treasure from them.

"It seems like a lot." The boy shook the bag in his hand and walked towards the forest.

Entering the forest, they arrived under a big tree. Ace shouted "Sabo" towards the tree.

A blond boy poked his head out from the tree branch. "Ace, how was the harvest?"

"Ah! I just made a big profit." Ace raised the bag in his hand.

"Wow! So much! A good harvest. I just did some work, but not as much as you." Sabo said happily as he looked at the treasure in Ace's hand.

Ace quickly climbed up the tree and gave the treasure to Sabo and put it in the tree hole where treasure was stored.

"Sabo, put it away quickly, it will be troublesome if someone finds it."

"How much does it cost to buy a pirate ship?"

"Who knows? Maybe tens of millions or hundreds of millions, there's still a long way to go."

"Pirate ship! Do you want to be pirates too? Me too!" Luffy waved his hands excitedly under the big tree.

The two looked at Luffy in horror, then looked at each other, quickly ran down from the tree, and punched Luffy in the head.

"Be quiet"

Then he tied Luffy to a tree. "You still followed me here! I clearly got rid of it." Ace said angrily.

"Ace, who is he? Did he follow you here?" Sabo stared at Luffy with anger.

"My name is Luffy. Ace saved me and I followed him here. Are you Ace's friend? Be my friend too." Luffy said with a smile on his face.

"Shut up, why are you calling me that?"

"What's your name then?"

"I won't tell you..."

Sabo looked at Ace and said, "What should we do? Now that the secret has been discovered, if we ignore it, this guy will tell others."

"Kill him," Ace said with a gloomy face.

"Okay, let's do it," Sabo said with a gloomy face.

"Ah~ Help! Don't kill me! I don't want to die yet! Help!" Luffy cried.

"Idiot! Be quiet!" Sabo anxiously covered Luffy's mouth.

"Sabo, hurry up," Ace shouted anxiously from the side.

"What did you say! You do it!" Sabo shouted in horror.

"I haven't killed anyone," Ace roared in horror.

"I've never killed anyone before, so I don't know what to do!" Sabo roared angrily.

"Ah! Don't kill me!" Luffy cried loudly.

"Shut up" Luffy paused, then continued to cry "I don't want to die"

"There is a voice in the forest, the voice of a child"

"Let's go in and take a look."

"Oh no! Someone is coming!"

"Anyway, untie this guy's rope first. If we don't leave here, the treasure will be discovered." Ace looked at Sabo.

"Look around here, you must find that little devil who dared to steal my treasure."

"Who are you, kid?" a gangster said, holding a child in his hand.

"How did that kid run away and get caught?" Ace Sabo watched in horror as Luffy was picked up by Borjami in the bushes.

Luffy didn't know what was going on yet, and looked bewildered. "Let me go! Ace, save me!"

"Damn it! Don't call me by my name!" Ace looked at Luffy in shock as he called his name.

"Oh no, he will definitely tell it, and our treasure will be discovered," Sabo said anxiously.

"Ace? Do you know that kid? Where did they put the treasure?" Borjami said to Luffy.

"I...I don't know." Luffy's mouth corners turned down, his eyes looked to the side, and sweat appeared on his forehead.

"What a terrible lying skill you have!" Borjemi and Ace Sabo who was hiding in the bushes looked shocked.

"Take this kid back."

"Sabo! We have to transfer our treasure as soon as possible. It's only a matter of time before Luffy speaks. Then they will not only take what we stole from him, but also all our savings of the past five years," Ace said solemnly to Sabo.

Sabo looked cautious

Borjami carried Luffy to an abandoned hut at his base, tied Luffy up and left him hanging.

"Listen, kid, the money your friend Ace stole from us is very important to our gang." He put on his gloves and grabbed the boy's head. "You know where he is, then tell me."
